Hickory Smoked Cornish Game Hen Recipes
SMOKED CORNISH GAME HENS
For a luscious poultry treat, smoked Cornish game hens can't be beat. These little birds are richly flavored, juicy and smoke like a charm. In my opinion, a smoked game hen beats smoked chicken every time. To add flavor, the game hens are marinated in a basic brine containing apple juice, herbs and spices. Slow smoking with apple, cherry or peach wood gives these little birds a light smoky flavor. If you are a fan of smoked poultry, these smoked Cornish game hens will be something to cheer about. Juicy, tender and full of flavor, they will become an all time favorite.

Steps:
- Combine the brine ingredients and bring to a boil. Remove the brine from the heat and chill down to 36 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the game hens by cutting along each side of the backbone, removing it from the carcass. Push down on the breast to flatten, and then remove the ribs if you like.
- Marinate the game hens in the fridge overnight. Remove the birds from the brine and pat dry with paper towels.
- Smoke the Cornish game hens at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 to 4 hours, or until the thigh temperature reaches 175 degrees. Allow the birds to rest for half an hour after smoking before splitting through the breasts and serving.
- Optionally, the game hens can be indirect grilled, or grilled over medium low heat 45 to 75 minutes, or until 175 degrees is reached.

- In a large pot (big enough to marinate cornish hens in a gallon of brine, yet small enough to cover the hens completely and a pot small enough to fit in a refrigerator) mix together the ingredients for this smoked chicken brine.
- With a paper towel, pat the cornish hens dry and let rest at room temperature for 15-30 minutes. (This will help hens cook evenly and not dry out.)
